Kourtaliotiko Gorge
Kourtaliotiko Gorge is a stunning natural wonder in Crete, famous for its dramatic cliffs, lush vegetation, and breathtaking waterfalls. As you hike through the gorge, you’ll experience the rush of wind echoing between the towering rocks, giving the area its name—“Kourtaliotiko,” meaning clapping sound. With its unspoiled beauty and rich wildlife, it’s a must-visit for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. # Keep in mind, the descent from the viewpoint to the waterfall takes about 25 minutes, with an equally timed ascent back up, making it a rewarding and immersive experience #
Preveli Palm Forest
Preveli Palm Forest is a hidden gem on Crete’s southern coast, where a river flows through a lush grove of rare native palms, meeting the crystal-clear waters of the Libyan Sea. Surrounded by rugged cliffs and framed by a pristine beach, this exotic oasis offers a unique blend of natural beauty and tranquility, making it the perfect escape for nature lovers and explorers.

The whole trip was fantastic! The gorge and waterfalls were spectacular! Preveli beach was one of a kind! George was very knowledgeable, patient, and kind. He was very detailed in letting me know what to expect in terms of the physicality of each place, which was important for the bits of hiking involved. He was also very accommodating when due to weather we had to make some changes to the original itinerary, but it all worked out for a lovely experience.
